Default 90 quattro lowering springs/kit

i im looking for lowering springs or a full kit for an 90 quattro, im not putting it in the wanted section as i looking more to being pointed in the right direction, however if anyone has some pm me

its a type 85 on a b reg and im looking at going more than 40mm,
yed i understand ill loose ride quality and i ll need uprated shorter shocks as well but 400mm just doesnt seem enough,

used 40mm pi springs and moved the rear spring plates down 20mm
this gave 40mm front before being settled, only gave 30mm rear before setteling, i put this down to origonal springs being sagged 10mm
now rear plates are 20mm lower i have ended up 50mm lower than it was and potentially 60mm lower than standard
see my build thread for pics and info,
ill possibly look into moving the front plates down 10mm as well
